AliCloud (using Azure Functions) connector for Microsoft Sentinel
The AliCloud data
connector provides the capability to retrieve logs from cloud applications
using the Cloud API and store events into Microsoft Sentinel through the REST
API. The connector provides ability to get events which helps to examine
potential security risks, analyze your team's use of collaboration, diagnose
configuration problems and more.

Prerequisites
To integrate
with AliCloud (using Azure Functions) make sure you have:
- Microsoft.Web/sites permissions:
Read and write permissions to Azure Functions to create a Function App is
required. See
the documentation to learn more about Azure Functions.
- REST API Credentials/permissions: AliCloudAccessKeyId and AliCloudAccessKey are
required for making API calls.
Vendor
installation instructions
Note
This
connector uses Azure Functions to connect to the Azure Blob Storage API to pull
logs into Microsoft Sentinel. This might result in additional costs for data
ingestion and for storing data in Azure Blob Storage costs. Check the Azure
Functions pricing page and Azure
Blob Storage pricing page for details.
(Optional Step) Securely store workspace and API authorization key(s) or token(s) in Azure Key Vault. Azure Key Vault provides a secure mechanism to store and retrieve key values. Follow these instructions to use Azure Key Vault with an Azure Function App.
Note
This data connector depends on a parser based on a Kusto Function to work as expected AliCloud which is deployed with the Microsoft Sentinel Solution.
STEP 1 - Configuration steps for the
AliCloud API
Follow the
instructions to obtain the credentials.
- Obtain the AliCloudAccessKeyId and AliCloudAccessKey:
log in the account, click on AccessKey Management then click View Secret.
- Save credentials for using in
the data connector.
STEP 2 - Choose ONE from the following two
deployment options to deploy the connector and the associated Azure Function
IMPORTANT: Before deploying the AliCloud data connector, have the Workspace ID and Workspace Primary Key (can be copied from the following).
Option 1 - Azure Resource Manager (ARM)
Template
Use this
method for automated deployment of the AliCloud data connector using an ARM Template.
- Click the Deploy to Azure button below.
NOTE: Within the same resource group, you can't mix Windows and Linux apps in the same region. Select existing resource group without Windows apps in it or create new resource group. 3. Enter the AliCloudEnvId, AliCloudAppName, AliCloudUsername and AliCloudPassword and deploy. 4. Mark the checkbox labeled I agree to the terms and conditions stated above. 5. Click Purchase to deploy.
Option 2
- Manual Deployment of Azure Functions
Use the
following step-by-step instructions to deploy the AliCloud data connector
manually with Azure Functions (Deployment via Visual Studio Code).
1. Deploy a Function App
NOTE: You will need to prepare VS code for Azure function development.
- Download the Azure
Function App file. Extract archive to your local development
computer.
- Start VS Code. Choose File in
the main menu and select Open Folder.
- Select the top level folder from
extracted files.
- Choose the Azure icon in the
Activity bar, then in the Azure: Functions area, choose
the Deploy to function app button. If you aren't already signed
in, choose the Azure icon in the Activity bar, then in the Azure:
Functions area, choose Sign in to Azure If you're already
signed in, go to the next step.
- Provide the following
information at the prompts:
a. Select
folder: Choose a folder from your workspace or browse to one that contains
your function app.
b. Select
Subscription: Choose the subscription to use.
c.
Select Create new Function App in Azure (Don't choose the Advanced
option)
d. Enter
a globally unique name for the function app: Type a name that is valid in
a URL path. The name you type is validated to make sure that it's unique in
Azure Functions. (e.g. AliCloudXXXXX).
e. Select
a runtime: Choose Python 3.8.
f. Select a
location for new resources. For better performance and lower costs choose the
same region where
Microsoft Sentinel is located.
- Deployment will begin. A
notification is displayed after your function app is created and the
deployment package is applied.
- Go to Azure Portal for the
Function App configuration.
2. Configure
the Function App
- In the Function App, select the
Function App Name and select Configuration.
- In the Application settings tab,
select ** New application setting**.
- Add each of the following
application settings individually, with their respective string values
(case-sensitive): AliCloudAccessKeyId AliCloudAccessKey WorkspaceID
WorkspaceKey logAnalyticsUri (optional) AliCloudProjects (optional)
AliCloudWorkers (optional)
- Use logAnalyticsUri to override the log analytics API endpoint for dedicated cloud. For example, for public cloud, leave the value empty; for Azure GovUS cloud environment, specify the value in the following format:
https://<CustomerId>.ods.opinsights.azure.us
. 4. Once all application settings have been entered, click Save.
